“Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere.” ― Carl Sagan
If you had carte blanche to create your own world, what sort of world would you create? What elements would make up life in your world? What creatures or plants would inhabit this world? What would they eat/drink, and in which biomes would they live in? Which colors would exist in your world? What kinds of technology would exist in your world?
For this quarterly issue of Isele Magazine, we want you to tell us about your fantastical imaginations and your magical dreams. We want fiction, nonfiction, poetry, photography, visual art, and hybrid works that explore the theme “A World Of Your Imagination.” All submissions for the quarterly issue should be submitted to quarterly@iselemagazine.com. The email subject line should read Genre: Lastname (e.g. Poetry: Angelou).
Deadline: 31st October 2023
Guidelines:
For fiction and nonfiction, submit max. 5000 words of prose.
For poetry, submit max. 3 poems in a single document.
For photography and visual art, submit max. 5 images in JPEG or PNG format and include a brief note detailing the concept and relevance of your work. Only submit work that you still retain the rights to. We DO NOT accept AI-generated images or artwork.
We DO NOT charge submission fees.
We DO NOT accept multiple submissions. Please submit to one genre only.
Simultaneous submissions are okay but please notify us as soon as your work is accepted elsewhere.
For prose (fiction and nonfiction) and poetry, we DO NOT publish previously published works (by this, we mean any piece that has appeared on the web or in print, including your personal blog). However, we will consider a translated version of the work if the original language wasn’t in English. For photography and visual art, we may publish works that have been previously published, posted, or exhibited as long as the artist still retains the rights.
Isele Magazine requests the first serial rights of your published piece. However, all rights will revert to you after publication. If your work is republished elsewhere, please indicate that it previously appeared in Isele Magazine. All accepted submissions are automatically considered for The Isele Prizes.
We will respond to every submission no later than two months from the date of submission. If you have not heard from us within two months, please feel free to send a query to quarterly@iselemagazine.com.
